Biked by this today, and WOW! have to say it reminds me a lot of one st. thomas, one of my favorite res buildings of the past few yrs.

I'd have to disagree on that. most residential streets in nice neighbourhoods with good canopy have a tree spacing of about eleven paces. A friend of mine bought a house up in Aurora on Woodroof Cresecent, where all the houses were built in 2000. the way they planted the trees, which was...

there are three stops in 400m. wychwood, vaughan rd, and bathurst. it is compeletely unnecessary, vaghan rd stop is 100m from bathurst. Its definitely the stop spacing, I havnt notices the streetcars waiting for any extended amount of time, and if anything, I'd like to see more streetcars...

ew the base looks like a filter for a forced air system. cant we have a nice six story red brick podium anymore, like on St. Joseph except retail?

Right. However, when the area is already built out, and the six lane roads and sprawl are already there, and the area is wealthy and pushy enough to be getting a subway, what do you do? If we were talking about starting the whole area from scratch, I would agree, but when it is all car...

the TTC knows that the stop spacing in that section is terrible, however they cannot start construction up there right now like they should to remove them, because of the whole "Disaster" thing, so they will probably wait until the new streetcars are ready and already in use on Spadina in full...

they only come out on the Bathurst side. there are not any other tracks on the other streets. Unless there is some sort of secret, pre-spadina expressway war on cars Streetcar tunnel to the CNE!

Are you suggesting we not intensify station areas, but rather rely on busing people in from far away? why have extended at all and just bus everyone down to Yonge and Eglinton where the line was *supposed* to stop?

well, residents that are willing to walk to yonge street. Although this will increase when a subway comes, but it's increasing from zero. which is why projects like this are so important for the subway to not go broke.

Im not sure if I can accept that the yonge extension in total will have the same ridership as the drl. sure, the terminal station will have all the feeder lines going into it like finch does now, but other than that, there are about 0 pedestrians north of Steeles on Yonge, and the VIVA numbers...

I really wish they had just painted over the Molson Canadian part and kept the cowboys! they were my friends!

The issue is that the expansions are not being planned by the TTC, or anyone with an inkling of the needs of the region, for that matter.

The Yonge line is most likely going to get extended, and although everyone in toronto knows we need a drl fast, there is so many weird deals with York Region and the province that something as dysfunctional as a Yonge extension is not only possible but very likely. just look at Vaughan getting a...

just a few thoughts: - it should be considered infill, as its on a brownfield and surrounded by 80s sprawl - it is really very big, but the developer probably did that so they can cut a few floors off the top and act like they did something -the proposed Yonge subway extension terminus will be a...

Incremental growth seems a lot like what is happening in the 'gentrified' areas of the city, where historic facades are kept but possibly added to, and new buildings are inserted that are of normal human scaled proportions, like the starbucks and TD bank buildings on Parliament. It generally...

I may be wrong but I believe the part that was blocked off up until recently has no stairs, or anything except a newly badly tiled wall.

What is the deal with the North East corner? that part is just going to stay the way it is? yuck, its terrible. that amount of space should not be left as a sunken grey pit, considering there are so many people living beside it, and they have needs!

I really hate the new part, and really wished they kept at least some of the original design. It looks like a Catholic School from 1978 in the outer suburbs but I digress. where is the heritage committee on this? I also cannot believe that half of the platform width was blocked off for so...

which someone who is up there should start a thread with lots of pictures about ;)
